Jack Andraka at the 2014 Innovation Summit

BCH has published the video of Jack Andraka’s remarkable presentation at the 2014 Innovation Summit, which I mentioned previously. It not only chronicles his amazing research, but also highlights the difference between problem-based, self-directed learning and formal education, as well as the importance of access to open educational resources. If you don’t know his story, please take the time to watch this.
